Graeter's Cotton Candy
Graeter's Cotton Candy is labeled as "Cotton candy reinterpreted into our creamy ice cream with a colorful sugar crunch inclusion made with artificial color and flavor.". I have only had one cotton candy that truly stood out in my past and that was from Handel's. Due to this being a unique flavor with an unrefined mix-in (sugar crunch pieces) I am curious to see how well the company can put it together!
Cotton Candy is little more than colorful spun sugar wrapped around a stick. The creamy and dense dense ice cream texture is perhaps its best attribute to this flavor. The sweetness is subtle but just enough to replicate a popular theme park dessert. What I like is Graeter's took the happy medium approach and went on the safe side with the amount of sweetness. Companies make a flavor too strong which can lead to an artificial aftertastes, or unhappy customers because it is way too overbearing for their taste buds.
The sugar crunch inclusion is a mix-in I am very excited for. Whenever Graeter's throws in an inclusion besides the signature chocolate chips I am anxious to see how well it is executed. The sugar crunch pieces are very hard to find, but they do pack a crunchy texture. The luscious amount of sugar in the aftertaste provides the perfect compliment to a pleasant base.
Overall Graeter's is know to be simple and to the point with their ice cream flavors. Cotton Candy is yet another addition to their lineup that follows suit. Take a world renowned dessert and turn it into a frozen treat. If you have a local scoop shop nearby I would suggest giving this one a scoop. Cotton Candy is also available for online ordering.
